Back to School Clothes for Boys: Back to School 2009- -Get the Sports Star Look

The Sports Star just loves his t-shirts, especially when they announce his love of his favorite sports' team or athletic wear brand. Boys and t-shirts go together like pb&j, so don't fight it, let him wear his tees proudly.

Boys love shorts, especially the Sports Star Boy. Choose athletic shorts such as basketball shorts for an extra casual look. When shopping for athletic shorts, look for shorts with a wide enough leg to afford him lots of maneuverability.

What could be more comfy than hanging out in a pair of track pants? Boys love track pants with side stripes and other cool features. Look for athletic pants with convenient ankle zips or side snaps.

At the begining of the Back to School season, boys love to wear their hoodies in place of a jacket. This year, they are choosing bold appliques and graphic prints on their hoodies and zippies. The most popular pullovers feature logos from name brands such as Nike, etnies, Puma and Adidas, or popular chain stores such as Abercrombie and Fitch and Gap. The Sports Star might also like a hoody that pledges his allegiance to his school or to his favorite college or professional team.

Obviously, the Sports Star's choice of shoe is a pair of athletic shoes specifically designed for his chosen sport. For casual wear, however, I encourage the sporty boy to branch out and choose a pair of hip, stylish athletic shoes with a bit more pizazz.
